Party Pooper !.....

 

$1.46 on the plains of Wyoming. It is quite interesting to pass the other cars faster than they are passing the grass on the side of the road.

 

thats a great way to look at it.

 

My top speeds to date:
Y2K Nissan Quest SE - 110mph (will never happen again )
2K2 Maxima SE - 120mph (so far )
1999 Honda Accord 4dr I4 auto - 130mph
1994 Mazda 626 V6 5sp - 135mph
1989 Dodge Colt GT Turbo - 125mph

 

hmm i just hit 110 in my moms 2k1 Toyota Corolla S..stock everything..except for the hawaiian print seat covers..steering wheel cover....i dont think i'll be doing that ever again

 

My top speed Ever, my WS6 Trans am 6 speed in the Arizona desert, racing a Ferrari 308.... 168 MPH... thats what the speedo said.. ...... Got a ticket 5 minutes later .... 120 mph... reduced to 90..

 

99 Maxima 5spd: Did 125 indicated racing a Solara V6...didn't even downshift to 4th b/c the Solara was too slow. Just pulled in 5th all the way from 90 up to 125. Had plenty more pull but was running out of road with traffic coming up.

02 Highlander: Wouldn't even think about trying it.

01 Accord V6: Did about 126 indicated (120-ish actual) racing an Acura TL-P. Beat him!

90 Camry 4-cyl 5spd: 110 indicated flat out in 4th. That's all she wrote!

 

2k Max - 143 on three occasions 3-4 months after I picked her up. I dont think she's as strong anymore

91 Galant - 125

 

other cars from my past...

84 Pontiac 6000 2.8L V6 carbureated, and about 110 cranky HP (my very very very first car): You could bury the needle past 85 but then somewhere around 95-100 or so there would be so much load on the tranny that it would think it needed a downshift so it would come out of lockup in 3rd (top gear). But then the revs would be too high so it would go back into lockup. Repeat. It would keep doing this and literally start shaking the entire car apart so you had to back off before something broke.

85 Camry LE hatchback auto (2.0L 92 HP 12-valve) (mom's old car): about 93 flat out in 3rd gear.

00 Camry LE auto (2.2L 133 HP 16-valve) (dad's current car): about 100 flat out in 3rd trying to keep up with a Probe GT.

 

I got my 2K1 GXE to the 132 MPH cutout, but then I cruised at 120-130 for about 20 miles. Remarkably quiet and secure, I knew it had a lot more but for the speed governor.

My top speed was 142 or so in my '92 Integra LS. It ran out of torque and needed a little downhill push to get up there but it had enough horsepower to cruise comfortably up- and down-hill, throttling as necessary to keep it at 140. While secure, I didn't feel comfortable letting it go higher on another downhill push.

South central New Mexico's secondary roads are a great place to travel in a good car.

145mph(or 235kph according to my RSM)..but then had to slow down abrutly cuz i was approaching the boarder patrol check point on Interstate 15...sucks!!

 

254.4kph* @ 6045rpm, peak rpm reached 6730rpm according to peak figures stored.

*Corrected Actual Speed.

 

and still pulling but ran out of road and cojones, old Kawasaki 750 triple (two stroke) to 140, current Max to 105 on a two-lane back road...traffic here too slow, too busy.

 

The fastest ever was in a 1969 RoadRunner with a 440 Cubic inches-Magnum six pack with tons of mods, anyway it was around 165 mph, with my 2K1 AE max I've been to 143MPH - 245Km/hr.

the top ive been to was 140ish in my 2k max, sitting in passenger set of a vette on I-10 170ish

my moms 96 buick lesaber in 1998 136, the got arested for drag racing....i was like WTF me dragracing a buick youve got to be kidding me, got out of speeging charge couldnt get out of drag racing charge

 

just touched over 145 in 2000 SE 5speed.

hardbody V6 5speed truck...pegged 100 mph then pulled another 1000RPM on tach.

91 s10 2.5 4 banger...120 (5 grand in 5th gear)

91 3000GT VR4....indicated 158 (approx 145-150)

95 stealth R/T.....142 indicated.


97 trans am....120 with the back of the car smashed.

on the back of my dads old CBR1000 when i was 11.....he told me 165.
he went and did 175 pulling hard still a week later.

 

i sometimes randomly check people's birthdays and you're the 3rd person ive found in the last few months to be EXACTLY as old as i am.

that added no value to this post. i apologize.

 

124 so far and then immediately dropped it back to 90. Too scared of tickets. My insurance is too high already.

 

tell me about it..im paying 319 a month =( perfect record...

 

Ahh! another New Yorker!! Whitestone, NY here

 

ive posted a few times but i still havent posted my top speed.

137 indicated in my 2k2. came up on a curve in the highway so i slowed down and lost the guts before i exited the curve. then my radar detector went off 5 minutes later so i definitely had no interest in trying again.

 

So far... an indicated 132mph on the Meadowbrook Prkwy coming back from Jones Beach....felt rock solid!

 

My 2k Max 134 on the 15 going to Vegas.

My friend's Lamborghini Diablo 211...it has twin turbos giving it about 850 to 900 HP. This was on a road in Arizona going to Mexico. He told me to let him know when he hits 180. I didn't say anything till he looked down at the speedo...YOWCH! I really didn't notice because I didn't dare look at the side of the road. The car was still very stable. I wanna be the one driving next time. Of course with my luck a tire would blow.

 

hehehe cool. im pretty close to trading in this 5 speed for a white 6 speed with LSD. but it doesnt have a sunroof. tough decision.

 

sunroof wouldnt make it or break it for me. its nice to have but its totally not necessary. dont let it keep you from getting the 6 speed.

 

Good Gravy, my crappy record, and currently serving a suspension, and Travellers Group has picked me up again @ under $300/ mo, but they wanted 1yr in advance. Military status helped, and if all else fails, I re-enlist.


HOW COME I NEVER SEE THESE OTHER NY PEOPLE ????????????????????
I'm like VISA, Everywhere you want to be.
Maybe I've become so numb to a modified Maxima sighting, I just don't care.

 

125mph trying to catch a funked up New Beetle. I don't know what he had but from a 50mph start he was haulin'....
Outcome, much sadness...
and I was on I-459 Birmingham, AL

 

Got to a little over 130mph, after that it didn't really pull that much and began to run out of road. It's an autotragic so thats kind of what I expected. Car felt good though! Wish I had a six speed!! But wife can't drive standard. Fastest I have ever been was in my old Datsun, fully worked rally car. I was clocked at 137mph and still had approx 1500 rpm till red line.
